Population justification: The global population is suspected to number more than 50 million mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022).

Trend justification:

This species occurs in a variety of open, semi-open and forested habitats, including in heavily disturbed and converted areas (Mobley 2020). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
